[matplotlib-devel] matplotlib donations

Some time ago, I talked about enabling mpl donations to raise money
for development.  My goal is to promote donations with some reasonably
prominent info on the web page, and some emails as well, to raise
enough to fund a sprint.    This is the blurb I wrote for the
donations page:

  All donations to matplotlib will be used to fund matplotlib
development.  Our primary goal
  is to raise enough funds to finance a developer sprint to work on
new features, better
  installers and better documentation.

To enable donations, all project admins must opt in.  In addition to
me, those are Charlie, Darren, Eric, Jeff and Michael and the opt in
page is at
http://sourceforge.net/project/admin/donations.php?group_id=80706.
The donations are set up to go into my paypal account, but if one of
you wants to create a dedicated account to handle these, that is fine
by me.

If anyone has concerns or suggestions, let me know.   We get a fair
amount of web traffic and maybe we can raise enough money to do
something useful.  I have no experience with donations so I have no
idea whether this is feasible, but it seems like it is worth a shot.
